They he'll try to dribble it in. Or when I'm playing with Boston I'll have Garnett as a C and he'll be standing at the 3-point line. Kobe can't hit a wide open 3 half the time. Also dunking completely sucks in this game half the time they'll just try for a lay-up or a really crappy shot.Even though I got this game for free I still feel ripped off. When you inbound the ball it'll give it to a PG and then when you pass it'll give the ball to a C or PF to take up the court. I bought this game because it was $20 at BestBuy and I had a gift card.
Stuff in this game is COMPLETELY unrealistic and goes against all common sense in basketball or just in life. WTF IS A C DOING THERE. When I first started playing it was fun but as I have kept playing with my friends the game gets worse and worse. WHAT SENSE DOES THAT MAKE. I will NEVER buy another NBA 2K game. I usually play with Boston and my friends with LA.
Same with Ray Allen.
Do not buy this P.O.S. This is a terrible game. To make the gameplay more realistic, they made the game slow, choppy and more unrealistic.
It is visually stunning and the development team has done a great job capturing each player's signature moves. This may be alright in football or baseball games, but basketball certainly suffers without fluid teamwork and easy controls.NBA 2K9 may be the best basketball title for the Xbox 360, but it is far from a slam-dunk. It has a lot of flash with its IsoMotion Pro, Association 2.0, Team 2K and other features.
It seems that its developers were trying to cram too much into the control system and ended up just creating a big mess. It has the style and flair of Kobe Bryant and LeBron James that probably satisfies the latest generation of NBA fans. AI teammates and opponents are simply mindless drones that fill the court.
NBA 2K9 may have all of the bling the latest generation of fans want, but it certainly falls short of being the pinnacle of basketball video games. The replays and cut scenes are solid and hip hop fans should love the music.Sadly, this game suffers in the substance department. However, anyone looking for the quality of gameplay during the Larry Bird and Magic Johnson era will be hard pressed to find any resemblance of it in this game.
However, actual gameplay is bogged down with horrendous controls and frustratingly awful AI that make this nothing more than a mediocre title.This game does score big point in terms of style. The arenas are spectacular and the play-by-play commentary is also top-notch.
The graphics however are very good and very realistic. I have been a fan of 2K sports since it has started, but I think NBA 2K9 is the worse out of the series. This game really sucks. If you are looking for an NBA game for XBox 360, go somewhere else. The CPU is nearly unbeatable and you can hardly get a shot off let alone make one. I have used all of the NBA teams and not one came to my liking.
The dunk contest isn't so bad except the controls are hard to figure out. I don't mind playing against a friend but playing against the computer is kinda frustrating and hard. I think if you're a fan of the NBA 2k franchise then you might still love it but if you're a new comer like I am, it's not exactly new user friendly. You know the graphics are really good and so is the gameplay but the controls kill the fun. They're way to difficult and the crossover moves are very hard to execute.
